Perspective: Divorce Illegal in California?

Last year there was much conversation around California and gay marriage.

In the end, the proposition allowinggay marriage wasn't passed.

I thought the videos below were aninteresting perspective piece, andmake an interesting point.

There are horrendous relationshipsbetween two adults of the opposite sex that are terrible for anyone involved. Why would it be so difficult to believe that there could be a loving, supportive, andsuccessful family with two people of the same sex?

Something that is "normal" isn'talways "good." It's just "normal."It's what we're used to. Our mindsare rigged that way: "Good"="Known""Bed"="Unknown." But something "good" because it's "known" could stillbe bad for us, and something "bad" because it's "unknown" could be something great for us.

Is it possible that there could besome good things that could come from a change in perspective?

I hesitate in discussing this topicmuch further at the moment, as it is a multi-faceted and multi-layered issue. It is also not one that I am entirely versed on.

However, I present this as it is anexcellent example of my favorite word:Perspective.
